The Leader presented the report of the Executive Director: Housing, Communities & Customer Service.

The report set out the ten year vision for the Borough. The vision had been developed through careful data analysis, engagement with partners and residents. The vision had four ambitions:

·         All neighbourhoods are connected, safe and clean

·         Everyone is able to live a healthy, independent life

·         Everyone benefits from good education and can fulfil their potential in a thriving economy

·         The environment is protected for the benefit of everyone.

The vision described the ambitions and aspirations for the Borough against these main themes.

Cabinet Members noted that the strategy had been developed with partner agencies and residents and that stakeholder events had been well attended. This strategy allowed planning on a longer term basis than the electoral cycle.

RESOLVED that:

a)    The ten year vision presented in Appendix 1 of the report be adopted;

b)   The proposed partnership approach to the delivery of the vision be adopted;

c)    The proposed timescale to report progress on delivery of the vision be approved.

This item had been deferred.
